I'm sorry you feel so 'victimized' by a simple call. Let's run to the government to fix it shall we? Heaven knows in a free market, the situation could never be resolved. 'Conservatives' can't distinguish between government intervention and freedom it seems...
We tried solving this problem with the free market, but the telemarketers just wouldn't listen.
We tried getting unlisted phone numbers -
They started sequential dialing
We tried getting caller ID -
They found a way to spoof the ID boxes
We tried getting call blocking -
The found a way to spoof THAT
We tried the free market, but they didn't want to hear it. And THAT is exactly what the government is for, when you have someone that won't listen to reason you apply force, government is that force. If the telemarketers would have just listened the first time we told them to stick it there wouldn't be this list. There's nothing unconservative about realizing that sometimes you have to bring in the government, what's unconservative is thinking that telemarketers have a right to call you.
Under your definition of freedom, abortion and murder are included. Liberals like to reject all authority because at their core they hate God.
Ain't that the truth? I can't beleive the number of so called self reliant conservatives crying to freaking federal government because their phone rings. I can exercise a lot of free market solutions.
A] I can turn off the ringer.
B] I can opt to not answer the phone.
C] I can use Caller ID to see if it's a call that I want to take.
D] If it's dinner time, I can ignore the ringing. I have mine set to 4 rings before it goes to voice mail.
E] There are other free marketplace options to intercept or block calls.
I just can't understand why anyone, let alone conservatives would want to register their name, address, and phone number with the federal government just so they don't have their phone ring.
NO! I'm not a telemarketer, nor am I related to, or friends with, any telemarketers.
